G                 Cadd9               Em                  C           G
This old town runs off booze and pills and birth control and nobody says a thing
                    Cadd9         Em      C
We tune in and tune out our conversations with the TV screen
Em                   D                   C
  Hanging off of the end of a rope coming loose
                         Em
I need to get back to my roots
       D
To the truth
       C
To the way it feels when I hold you


[Chorus]
            G
I need that down south
     Cadd9
That soul sound
    Em              D
You spinning like a record
       G            Cadd9
I need your hand in my hand
     Em           D
That eye to eye reflection
     Em                 D
Both fights the mad the good the bad
    G                  C
The way love hurts and heals
       G  F  C
I need real
           G     F  C
Yes I need real, oh


[Verse 2]
            G               Cadd9               Em
I need your warm skin on my cold heart on a lonely night
     C                 G
Just lay it all on the line
                    Cadd9             Em
Let it pour out and flood me til that dam breaks
            C              Em
Til there's nothing left inside you
         D
What you love
         C
What you hate
              C
I'll take the real
          Em
Leave the fake
           D              G
I want the sinner and the saint


[Chorus]
             G
Give me that down south
     Cadd9
That soul sound
    Em              D
You spinning like a record
       G            Cadd9
I need your hand in my hand
     Em           D
That eye to eye reflection
         Em                 D
Both the fights the mad the good the bad
    G                  C
The way love hurts and heals
       G  F  C
I need real, oh
       G  F  C
I need real, yeah

            G
I need that down south
     Cadd9
That soul sound
    Em              D
You spinning like a record
       G            Cadd9
I need your hand in my hand
     Em           D
That eye to eye reflection
     Em                 D
Both fights the mad the good the bad
    G                  C
The way love hurts and heals
       G  F  C
I need real    (Give me that real)
       G  F  C
I need real, oh
             G  F  C
Give me that real
